Autry was born on March 3, 1938, in Berwick, the son of Gessler Gaspard and Corine Vining Gaspard.
Autry was a sports enthusiast who enjoyed watching sports but especially loved cheering on his LSU Tigers and New Orleans Saints to victory. He was a very loving and caring husband, father, grandfather and great-grandfather who loved spending time with his family.

He will be sadly missed and lovingly remembered by his wife, Jeannie Hymel Gaspard of Morgan City; four children, Rhonda Teachman and husband Vernon of Berwick, Janie Dewey of New Iberia, Kenny Gaspard of Morgan City, and David Gaspard and wife Pam of Fletcher, North Carolina; six grandchildren, Kristi Gaspard, Jena Teachman, Brandon Dewey, Kaylee Dewey, Amanda Gaspard and Carter Gaspard; one great-grandson, Dylan Barnett; and two sisters, Fay Beadle of Crowley and Sheila McAdams and husband Mike of Morgan City.
Autry was preceded in death by his parents, Gessler and Corine Vining Gaspard; and one brother-in-law, Gerald Beadle.
A Mass of Christian Burial will be celebrated at 2:00 p.m. on Saturday, September 8, 2018, at Holy Cross Catholic Church with Father Angelo Cremaldi celebrating Mass. A visitation will be held from 10:00 a.m. until 1:30 p.m. on Saturday, September 8, 2018, at Twin City Funeral Home. Following Mass, Autry will be laid to rest in the Morgan City Cemetery Mausoleum.
